Is it the practice of the IRS to audit a State or local government without first providing some guidance or bulletin on the subject of the audit?

We are hoping to educate people through you.

I would hope that that Tribal Office would see its mandate as reviewing all of these things and educating the Treasury Department, the IRS, and everybody within the Department.

It is well documented that we as the Federal Government are failing in meeting our obligation to provide health care to Native Americans.

So we need to put the resources behind the Indian Health Service. There is no doubt about that.

Native Americans face health disparities at almost every level.

We need to invest in our youth and provide them with the support they need.

I just wanted to briefly, Chairman Dorgan, say thank you again for focusing on this issue, and thank you for focusing our attention on youth suicide in Indian Country.

I believe we must improve oversight, but in a responsible manner that doesn't over burden honest applicants.

We face a fate worse than oil dependence--global oil scarcity.
